Really? Even Ted Cruz or Rick Santorum? Because Cruz is a prick and Santorum, well... let's just say that there were a lot of people who disliked him enough to influence the search results of "define santorum".

Seriously screw Bernie Sanders. You can vote on whoever you want. Just don't vote for that lying rat. Personally I would vote for Donald Trump; but that's just me; cause I'm sick of turning America into a Nanny State for Illegals (who we have no room for anymore) especially at a time of Economic and Political upheaval; Trump was the only candidate who had the GALL to bring it up. Oh and not to mention what could be a possible war on Russia in the future; which would prove disastrous if America disarms it's own military...

Based Trump is Based.... Make America great again sir! #DonaldTrump2016

The problem with your taxes graphic is that it is incredibly misleading. It doesn't include current tax totals nor does it put into consideration Bernie's policies. This is basically a scare tactic by letting people see big numbers and making them think "wow, that's a lot". Considering how the graphic comes with no further context, and was made by the folks over by Wall Street (which is known for a far right conservative bias), the graphic is by no means reliable.

For context, the estimated total tax revenue in 2014 was at $5.8 trillion, and the estimated total tax for this here is predicted to hit $6 trillion, and 6.4 trillion for 2016 so it's raised by about 3.3% between 2014 and 2015, and is predicted to rise even higher in percentage the following year.

So, so far, yes. It looks like it's a huge difference from what we have now. But consider Bernie's stance on income equality: that it is morally wrong that 1/10 of the top 1% possesses as much wealth as the bottom 90%. So far, most of the country's money is being siphoned toward that top 1% and they are the ones getting tax breaks. If Bernie gets into office, he'll propose bills that forces the wealthiest people in the world to pay their taxes.

Think about how much money that means going to the country. Even if it doesn't happen to be enough to fulfill everything Bernie promises, it is enough to cheapen it significantly. Also consider that the taxpayers of the country aren't getting hit by it all at once. This plan will fund the country over a course of years. It is in time will these affordable programs be provided to the people.

Besides, the fact that you think we'll be going to war with Russia is enough to discredit everything you say. I've never seen a sensible Trump supporter, and I certainly didn't right now.

e: Let me correct myself: we will be going to war with Russia only if Donald Trump gets elected into office, because the man has no diplomatic bone in his body.
